Grant 'considering retiring from acting'

Hugh Grant has revealed that he is contemplating retiring from acting once again.

The Music And Lyrics star has admitted that he "freezes" and experiences severe attacks while cameras begin to film.

Grant told Entertainment Weekly: "I like everything about filming except the acting. I'm wonderful in rehearsals, but I've never been very good when they actually switch the cameras on.

"In recent years, I've had really bad attacks, where I totally freeze up. I thought, 'Well, if I'm going to get stage fright, then I'm packing it in'."

He added: "I feel foolish having said so often, 'Oh, I don't want to do any more [films]'. And then I always do."
